Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), the first to announce a bid for the GOP presidential nomination in 2016, will debut his campaign ads this weekend during Fox News’ showing of “Killing Jesus,” according to CNN.
Fox News will air “Killing Jesus,” the movie adapted from Bill O’Reilly’s book for the National Geographic Channel, on Easter Sunday.
Cruz’s campaign also bought air time in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada on Sunday during NBC’s “A.D.: The Bible Continues,” according to CNN.
The campaign spent $33,000 on the spots, which will air unusually early in the campaign cycle.
Cruz’s campaign told the Washington Post that they decided to buy ads for this weekend due to the number of conservatives who would be watching the religious programs.
“For the impact, it’s crazy not to buy this,” a campaign adviser told the Post.
Cruz launched his 2016 campaign at the evangelical Liberty University’s student convocation in March.
Would you want to leave your child, grandchild, dog or cat, aged parent alone with Ted?
The photo would be a great campaign poster for the Dems…
I don’t know about the rest of you you, but when I think about Holy Week, and the Passion of the Christ, my mind immediately turns to the joy of anticipation of watching political propaganda.
I just want to know one thing…how is buying campaign ad space for Easter 2015 suppose to help someone get elected in November 2016?
Or is Cruz deliberately trying to turn Easter in Halloween for these Christians?
Skimming some easy money before the field is too crowded, I guess…
“Killing Jesus” - ugh…
